This is a Poem that heals fishes

by Jean-Pierre Siméon, ill. Olivier Tallec
To heal Leon, his ill gold fish, Arthur must read him a poem. But is there anybody on this earth that can explain to Arthur what a poem is? The baker, the bird, his grandparents, the old Mahmoud, everybody has a different answer. Poem sounds like a very mysterious word. But it's getting urgent, and Arthur needs to know the answer. To save Leon.
